Jono Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 For Christmas I picked up the boxed twin pack of Old Pulteny 12 & 17 350 ml each. The 12 is good and the 17 is very good. A great way ofselling your product by giving the consumer an opportunity to buy two for basically the price of one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeti Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Well, the Vikings are putting in Joe Webb, and I'm afraid this might be my last game of the season...started with a Glenfiddich 15 and have a pour of Glenfarclas 30 in front of me now. A Glenfarclas 1982 Family Cask will follow, and we'll see what the score is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tennessee Dave Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Had my first Bowmore. I purchased the 12 year old. Bowmore is such a storied distiller. I have to admit this expression was a bit of a disappointment. Which Bowmore should I try? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WAINWRIGHT Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Some Lagavulin 16 paired with a "Man Sized" pork chop fresh off the grill,the smoke and sweetness paired with the salty element of the chop,in a word magical! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVTsteve Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Started with Auchentoshan Classic and moved to Caol Ila 12 for some smoke. So good. Might finish with a Lag 12 while I start to rewatch Game of Thrones with my lady. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVTsteve Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 On to some Laph 10 tonight, my first pour from this distillery. really tasty stuff for their cheapest expression, I'm impressed. After a night of Caol Ila and Lagavulin 12, this is a very fine pour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WAINWRIGHT Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Started off a nice laid back evening with a bold pour of Balvenie 21yr PW,it's been awhile since I have visited this bottle and has proven to be an excellent choice that meets the mood.

Wall Eye Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Enjoyed a nice pour of Benromach 10 last night. Very enjoyable - a bit unique (at least to me) since I don't pick up any hints of peat, yet there's a nice, dry, smokey finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclebunk Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 (edited) Scored an amazing deal on Glenmorangie 10 a few days ago--$17.99 a bottle! Naturally, I picked up two cases (one to keep, one to share with friends). I've always enjoyed this whisky, particularly on those days when I want something clean, fresh and unpeated, as the floral aroma really is quite amazing. It's always nice when the whisk(e)y Gods smile upon you, and this haul of twelve bottles certainly made my day. My only concern is that this unprecedented drop in price (usually $37-$40 around here) may be a harbinger of things to come. One has to wonder if Glenmorangie is contemplating doing away with the 10 year old to make way for a 12 YO, as this retailer said he scored 50 cases at a phenomenally discounted price and was therefore able to sell the stuff for under $20 and still make a good profit. Now I kinda wish I had picked up a few more cases! Edited January 11, 2013 by unclebunk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeti Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 :bigeyes: WOW! GlenMo isn't one of my favorite pours, but I'd be right with you in picking up a case or two (or more) at that price. That's a year's worth of nice gifts to friends, and plenty of pours for the casual scotch drinkers on a visit. What an amazing score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a year's worth of nice gifts to friends, and plenty of pours for the casual scotch drinkers on a visit. What an amazing score.That was kinda my thinking too. It certainly doesn't rank among my favorites but it truly is a high quality malt and (as you said) it gifts well, along with being an easy pour for the more casual sms drinker. Having said that, it is a favorite among many Scots and really does hit the spot when the mood strikes. Like Old Pulteney 12 and other similar lighter malts, I find there's a time and a place to really enjoy these types of whisky and feel glad to have struck gold on what was meant to be a simple beer run.

SFS Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 A recent discovery, and the only Scotch I have any serious experience with: The Tomatin 10. An extremely drinkable dram, at an extremely reasonable price ($22 here, + tax). It holds my interest pour after pour - nicely balanced, lots going on, smooth finish. It may soon become my first ever case quantity purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
